Take Structured Meeting Notes Online
Meeting Notes is a free, structured note-taking tool that captures everything from a meeting in one place. It organizes each session into four clear sections — Agenda, Notes, Decisions, and Action Items — so discussions, conclusions, and follow-ups never fall through the cracks.
It works for team standups, project kickoffs, client calls, and board meetings alike. Add meeting details at the top, capture the conversation as it happens, assign tasks with owners and due dates, then export a clean Markdown summary to share or archive. Every session is saved and stays available in your meeting history.
How to Take Meeting Notes
Set up the meeting info
Fill in the Meeting Title, Date, Time range, Attendees, and Location at the top. These details are included in the exported summary.
Build the agenda and take notes
Click Add in the Agenda section to list discussion topics — each item is numbered and timestamped automatically. Add detailed Notes with a title and a collapsible content area to keep the conversation tidy.
Record decisions and action items
Log each conclusion in the Decisions section, then add Action Items with an assignee and due date. Tick the checkbox to mark a task complete so nothing is forgotten after the meeting.
Export or start a new meeting
Click Export to generate a Markdown summary you can copy to the clipboard or download as a .md file. Use New Meeting to start fresh — your current session is saved automatically and stays in the history panel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should be included in meeting notes?
Good meeting notes capture the basics — title, date, time, attendees, and location — plus the agenda discussed, key points raised, the decisions reached, and the action items assigned. This tool gives each of those a dedicated section so a complete record comes together as the meeting happens.
How do I take effective meeting notes?
Set up the agenda before the meeting, then jot down notes under each topic as the discussion moves. Record decisions the moment they're made, and turn every "we should…" into an action item with an owner and a due date. Keeping decisions and action items separate from general notes makes the record far easier to follow afterward.
What's the difference between meeting notes and minutes?
Meeting notes are an informal, working summary of what was discussed, while minutes are the more formal, approved record of a meeting. This tool serves both: take quick notes during the session, then export a clean, structured document — with attendees, agenda, decisions, and action items — that can stand in as formal minutes.
How do I track decisions and action items?
The Decisions section logs each conclusion with a timestamp, and the Action Items section adds an assignee, a due date, and a completion checkbox to every task. Both appear in the exported Markdown, so follow-ups stay clear and trackable after the meeting ends.
Can I export or save my meeting notes?
Yes. Click Export to generate a Markdown summary of the current meeting, then copy it to your clipboard or download it as a .md file named with the meeting's date and title. Every meeting is also saved automatically in your browser, so you can reopen and switch between them anytime from the history panel.
Where is my data stored, and is it private?
All meeting data is stored only in your own browser — nothing is uploaded to a server and nothing is tracked. Because the data lives locally, the tool also works offline once loaded. Clearing your browser data will remove your saved meetings.
Can I keep more than one meeting?
Yes. Click New Meeting to start a fresh session — the current one is saved automatically. All meetings appear in the history panel, where you can click any entry to switch to it or use its trash icon to delete it. If you delete the only remaining meeting, it resets to a blank one instead.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Yes. Press Enter in any agenda, decision, or action item to add the next one instantly. In Notes, pressing Enter on the title opens the content area and moves the cursor there, and Escape closes the export view.
